The high-pitched collection on top of the kitchen cabinet is a variety of pitchers, jugs and jars in all shapes, sizes, colors and materials.

Except the fact that it's beautiful collection, I do use them piece by piece. They serve as vases, juice jugs and the beautiful pinkish red one - with the attractive spout - is actually a watering can.

The shadylace parasol in our garden allows just a little sun to shine through.
We use the parasol for several years now and it's simply a great design by Droog.
It feels like sitting under a tree, gives a beautiful shade and there's even a small bird perched on top.

The past few days we frequently enjoyed the 'dosed' sunshine.What a weekend!

The large watering can looks like a Klaas Gubbels coffee pot. (I know the garden plants so far needed no extra water at all...) The handle at the top is very helpful to carry the full can and to aim better.

On the way back from the market in Tire, we paid a visit to the mosque in the small village of Akyurt.Our guide Tuncer told us about 'how and what in the mosque'. Outside the mosque Pippa was greeted by three sweet girls, who had picked flowers for her and loved to pose together. Before we left, we sipped a cup of Turkish coffee at a local café.

Every Tuesday there is a traditional market in Tire. It is by far the largest market in the area. You will find many old crafts and the local farmers come to Tire to sell their fresh vegetables and fruits. There is a square with women who sell their handmade items such as crocheted flowers, lace and embroidered linens.
